Computerized prescribing in the practice of medicine is a change that is overdue. Virtually all prescriptions in the United States are still handwritten. Instead, medications should be ordered on a computer interacting with 3 databases: patient drug history, scientific drug information and guideline reference, and patient-specific (weight, laboratory) data. Current problems with prescribing on which computerized prescribing could have a positive impact include (1) drug selection; (2) patient role in pharmacotherapy risk-benefit decision making; (3) screening for interactions (drug-drug, drug-laboratory, drug-disease); (4) linkages between laboratory and pharmacy; (5) dosing calculations and scheduling; (6) coordination between team members, particularly concerning patient education; (7) monitoring and documenting adverse effects; and (8) postmarketing surveillance of therapy outcomes. Computerized prescribing is an important component of clinician order entry. Development of this tool has been impeded by a number of conceptual, implementation, and policy barriers. Overcoming these constraints will require clinically and professionally guided vision and leadership.

In recent years the introduction of computer systems for data handling in the pharmaceutical industry has increased. A standard LIMS (laboratory information management system) is software commercially available from different suppliers not only to facilitate data handling in laboratories but also to cover GMP-requirements. Computer systems introduced in GMP-areas of pharmaceutical companies have to be validated. For a standard LIMS, the general validation of the program is performed by the supplier. Nevertheless, the user is always required to cover all phases of a validation. The objective of this paper is to discuss suitable test procedures for the most critical functions of a standard LIMS needed during the verification step of the validation process.
